I am working as an interne in a large office block and have been landed with setting the spiceworks package up. I do not come from an IT background ( which I told my supervisor ). I am getting authorization errors when scanning. I have been reading treads on this site for the last few days and tried the following already;

One problem I may have is that I am working off a virtual machine so I am not sure if it is rebooting properly which I know is important for some of the configuration settings to take effect.

Something else I have noticed is that in the firewall settings where the spiceworks exceptions are specified it remarks that they are not group policy even though I have performed this task using the group policy editor.

The company has its own domain. I would really appreciate any help, my supervisor is very busy and it not familiar with spiceworks.

Freindly warning, Group Policy can SH@G a network very quickly, you have stated "I do not come from an IT background" so messing with group policy may not be the best awnser unless you are doing it in a test enviroment or know how to resverse it if it breaks.
